The leaders of the GXNUMX countries will not participate in the traditional joint photo session at the summit in Indonesia due to the presence of a representative of Russia.
“World leaders traditionally stand together for photographs at the start of summits, which provide an interesting dynamic as leaders interact and greet each other in public. However, there will be no photos at the summit in Indonesia, which starts next Tuesday."
As he writes The Guardian, although Russian President Vladimir Putin refused to go personally to the G20 summit, there will be no joint photo of the leaders of the countries because of the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergey Lavrov, who will represent the country instead of the head of the Kremlin.
